Abstract

Axially chiral biaryl phosphines and their oxides are indispensable ligands in asymmetric catalysis, enabling diverse enantioselective transformations. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and applications of a new family of axially chiral phenanthryl-aryl phosphine ligands. We disclose a nickel-catalyzed atroposelective [4 + 2] cycloaddition of biphenylenes with 1-arylalkynes to give axially chiral phenanthryl-aryl bis- and monophosphine oxides, including 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphine oxide)-1,1'-binaphthy (BINAPO) analogues, as well as monophosphine oxides (MOPOs) and 1-(2-diphenylphosphinyl-1-naphthyl)isoquinoline (QUINAPO) analogues, in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivity. The transformation…
